Shen Muyan wore Boss Luâs deep green flip-flops. Her pair of jade-like feet had a bewitching allure. Her ten toes were fair like pearls, sculpted like artworkâdelicate and lively.
Tap, tap, tap. She moved gracefully, each step seemingly treading on Boss Luâs heartstrings.
Just as the rich lady was about to reach Boss Luâ
Suddenlyâ
Was the floor too slippery?
Shen Muyan lost her balance and fell backward. Boss Lu reacted quickly, reaching out to catch the rich lady around the waist. The air froze. Their eyes met. Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Shen Muyanâs cool and elegant face was framed by a few loose strands of hair, her long lashes fluttering slightly. What Lu Qin felt beneath his palm was soft and springy. Through the thin silk, he could clearly sense the delicate, smooth sensation beneath his fingertips. The atmosphere was suggestive.
Their faces seemed like magnets, drawn irresistibly towards each other. Their breathing got closer. A faint blush spread across the rich ladyâs fair cheeks. Looking into his deep, closing eyes, she shut her own. It was coming. The plan had worked.
Even though she was the mastermind and everything was within her expectations and controlâHer heart was still racing uncontrollably.
When it came to kissing, she had zero experience. She and Lu Qin had probably never kissed. The time they drunkenly slept together, even though they did the deed, neither of them remembered anything. Even if there was a kiss, there was no feeling. So it could be counted as if theyâd never kissed.
In other words, this was Shen Muyanâs first kiss. She didnât know what it would feel like.
Wonderful? Gentle? Fiery? Wild? Sticky with passion?
Nervousness was definiteâwith a hint of expectation.
His lips werenât too thin or thick, with a smooth shapeâlike sunlight at dawn, warm and radiant, full of confidence and charm. Hmm, probably comfortable.
Thoughts swirled chaotically in the rich ladyâs mind. Suddenly, Shen Muyan felt her body lighten, then land on the ground as the arm around her waist loosened. She stood upright.
Boss Lu looked at Shen Muyan with a strange expression. He hadnât fallen for it. The floor hadnât been moppedâno way she slipped. That nearly-fall was stiff and obviously fake.
Where did she even get such a cliché, soap-opera trick?
Boss Lu hadnât expected the rich lady to be so good at playing gamesâbut it didnât match her style. He guessed someone was giving her advice. Lu Qin thought of Fang Ya.
A single, nosy love guru giving dumb advice to a romance novice, cold CEO.
Interesting.
Boss Lu was curious to see what tricks theyâd try next. The plan failed. The rich lady stood frozen for three seconds.
âGoing to sleep.â
She didnât dare meet Boss Luâs eyes. Throwing out two words, she turned and went into the bedroom.
In the roomâThe little one had already powered off, sprawled out in all directions, taking up the center of the bed.
âWho did she inherit this sleeping posture from?â
Shen Muyan kicked off the flip-flops and got on the bed. She stretched out her jade-like foot and nudged the little one to the side, then grabbed the blanket and tossed it on her butt.
The little one slept like a rock, smacked her lips, instinctively grabbed the blanket and pulled it over herself, continuing her sleep mode. Shen Muyan turned off the ceiling light and switched on the bedside lamp, then muted her phone and messaged Fang Ya.
A few seconds later, Fang Ya replied.
Shen Muyan described it in full.
After repeated failures, the rich lady started to seriously doubt her love guruâs abilities.
The rich lady couldnât be bothered to argue. She sent a selfie straight away. Fang Ya opened the picture. Silk nightgown, thin and form-fitting. This was the ultimate seduction outfit!
The rich lady already had a flawless figure, and in that sleepwear, her curves were exquisite, her tight, snow-white skin tempting the wildest fantasies. Even as a woman, Fang Ya almost got a nosebleed.
Charm? More than enough.
Then what was the problem?
Could it be that Boss Lu⦠wasnât up to it?
If the rich lady went full seductive mode, even women couldnât resistâLet alone a man. Heâd be emptied out several times over!
Fang Ya reached a conclusion.
Fang Ya spit out her White Rabbit candy. She had found something even sweeter.
Fang Ya popped the candy back in.
President Shen, the top student in applied science and finance with an IQ of 180, a woman with an exceptional business mind and management skillsâIn matters of romance, had a negative IQ. And just like that, she was tricked into the test by her dog-head strategist Fang Ya.
The rich lady pretended to go to the bathroom. She flushed the toilet to make noise, then walked out, groping around in the dark, and slipped into Boss Luâs room. Boss Lu was already asleep. The space beside him dipped as a soft, fragrant body slipped under the covers.
Skin touched skin. One was warm. The other was cool and silky. One was truly asleep. The other was pretending to sleep. But the closeness, the skin contactâThe one faking it was nervously stiff as a board.
In the dark, her pretty face was already flushed red. Boss Lu wasnât a saint. Over the past few days, heâd seen the rich lady quite a bitâespecially with her teasing behavior now and then. Naturally, thoughts had crossed his mind. He turned over in his sleep.
Drowsily, as he shifted, he seemed to touch something. It felt like someone was beside him. But he couldnât tell if it was a dream or realâit was all muddled, and he was too sleepy to open his eyes.
The rich lady didnât dare move, frozen like a corpse. Boss Lu reached out and hugged her waist, resting his head near her shoulder and continued sleeping. His steady breathing blew warm air against her neck, giving her a strange tingling warmth.
At the same time, waves of electricity shot through her body. Still, she didnât dare budge. Boss Lu thought it was a dream. The rich lady treated it like a dream, too. And so, one dreaming and one awake, they lay that way for a long, long timeâ¦
Just as the rich lady was about to fall asleepâBoss Lu shifted again and draped his heavy thigh across her belly.
After a short while, an uncomfortable feeling spread across her stomach. Her internal organs were being pressedâof course it felt awful.
